Tyler Freeman’s double plays

October 22, 2024

Tyler Freeman grounded into 15 double plays in 2024. That’s not an unheard-of amount by any means, but what makes it unique is he had more double plays than doubles.

Freeman’s 14 doubles are the seventh most by a Cleveland hitter to finish with more GIDPs than doubles.

Here’s the leaderboard:

1950 Al Rosen: 23 doubles, 27 GIDP
1984 Julio Franco: 22 doubles, 23 GIDP
1975 George Hendrick: 21 doubles, 25 GIDP
1949 Joe Gordon: 18 doubles, 20 GIDP
1980 Joe Charboneau: 17 doubles, 24 GIDP
1999 Richie Sexson: 17 doubles 19 GIDP
1957 Chico Carrasquel: 14 doubles, 15 GIDP
2024 Freeman: 14 doubles, 15 GIDP

The most doubles by a Cleveland hitter to double his doubles with double plays is seven by Joe Azcue in 1965 (7 doubles, 15 GIDP)
